Ma prospect is a 2.3 kilometre long mineralized system
comprising multiple mineralized zones within a broad regional structural complex

TORONTO, Nov. 17, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX:TGZ) is pleased to announce that advanced drilling continues to yield new discoveries and high-grade, near surface and deeper gold mineralization at the Ma prospect on its Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Teranga has an earn-in agreement on the Golden Hill property with Boss Resources Limited (ASX:BOE) pursuant to which Teranga, as the operator, can earn an 80% interest in the joint venture upon delivery of a feasibility study and the payment of AUD2.5 million.

“Golden Hill is shaping up to be a very important component of our growth plan,” stated Richard Young, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “With these positive results at Ma together with the recent addition of Jackhammer Hill, as well as, Peksou and Nahiri, we now have four centrally-located, advanced exploration prospects and we are rapidly advancing this project to evaluate the potential scale and grades leading towards an initial resource in 2018.”

Each of Golden Hill’s four prospects are located approximately 5 kilometres from a central point (Figure 1 in Appendix 1), which aligns well with Teranga’s expertise of mining multiple deposits utilizing a centralized plant facility.

Advanced drilling at the Ma prospect, one of four drilled to date at Golden Hill, continues to return excellent grades and widths of gold mineralization near surface and to depth. Recent drilling highlights at Ma include:

  • 15 m @  4.22 g/t Au including 7 m @ 7.89 g/t Au including 2 m @ 17.6 g/t Au (GHDD-067)
  • 16 m @  3.20 g/t Au including 1 m  @ 15.7 g/t Au, and 3 m @ 6.14 g/t Au (GHDD-078)
  •  6 m @ 5.79 g/t Au and 17 m @ 3.45 g/t Au including 6 m @ 6.32 g/t Au (GHDD-080)

The program has also identified a parallel structure to Ma known as Ma North. This new extension returned good grades and widths from a limited initial step-out drill program, including 3 metres @ 4.42 g/t Au and 7 metres @ 1.75 g/t Au. The Ma area appears to be developing into a broad regional structural complex of mineralized zones.

“The recent results from Ma continue to demonstrate excellent continuity and correlation for both the BZ-1 and BZ-2 mineralized zones along the entire extent along strike drilled to date at the Ma prospect,” stated David Mallo, Vice President, Exploration. “The positive drill results at Ma serve to confirm the along trend and  down-dip continuity of grade and width from surface exposure to down-dip depths now approaching 125 metres at this quickly advancing prospect. Our initial step-out drilling at Ma North has successfully intersected similar Ma style alteration, brecciation and mineralization, further expanding the overall Ma target across a broader structural complex.”   

Added Mr. Mallo, “We will continue to test the Ma structural complex and the Jackhammer Hill prospect, as well as, our Nahiri and Peksou prospects, through the remainder of the year and into next year.”   

The Golden Hill property is comprised of three adjacent exploration permits covering 470 km2 located in southwest Burkina Faso in the central part of the Houndé Greenstone Belt. This belt hosts a number of high-grade gold discoveries, including the Siou, Yaramoko and Houndé deposits, the latter property being contiguous with Golden Hill.  To the south of Golden Hill is another large land position where active exploration programs are well underway.

Ma and Ma North Prospects

At the Ma prospect, diamond drilling has focused on testing the primary northwest trending Ma structure (BZ-1), a secondary parallel, northwest trending structure (BZ-2) and most recently the Ma North structural zone (Figure 2 in Appendix 1). Gold mineralization at the Ma prospect is hosted by strike-extensive, favourably altered, pyritic, silicified and brecciated shear systems within a sequence of mafic volcanics intruded by at least two distinct phases of granitic intrusive bodies.  

The phase three drill program began at the Ma prospect in early August and is ongoing.  This drill program is a continuation of the previous drill phases, and is designed to further evaluate the currently outlined strike extent on regularly spaced sections, extend drilling further along trend and continue testing down dip depth extensions below the favourable gold mineralized intervals previously announced from drill phases one and two. To date, a minimum 1,500-metre extent along strike of the primary Ma structure has been intersected successfully by diamond drilling within the overall + 2,300-metre drilled extent that includes both our diamond and reverse circulation drilling (Figure 2 in Appendix 1).  The Ma mineralization remains open to further expansion both along trend and to depth at all areas drilled to date; Ma Main (BZ-1, BZ-2), Ma East and Ma North. In addition, within this developing structural complex we recognize other prospective areas displaying similar favorable structural orientation and geochemical anomalism to the south.

Representative sections from the Ma prospect are included (Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 in Appendix 1), which demonstrate the correlation and continuity observed along strike for the mineralized structural zones from surface to minimum vertical drilled depths approaching 70-75 metres that correlates to approximately 125 metres down dip. One of these representative sections, G-G’ (Figure 5 in Appendix 1), includes drill hole GHDD-080 which is one of the deeper holes completed to date at the Ma prospect and demonstrates excellent correlation, grades and widths for both BZ-1 and BZ-2 mineralized zones. A complete listing of the drilling results reported in this news release, is included in Table 1. 

A complete listing of assay highlights from all Ma prospect diamond drill holes completed to date are shown in an all-prospect combined results Table 2 in Appendix 1.

Other Activities & Next Steps

In addition to the ongoing drilling at the Ma and Jackhammer Hill prospects, follow-up drilling is also planned for both the Nahiri and Peksou prospects in the fourth quarter. The Company also plans initial field evaluations at a number of other yet undrilled prospects, to include Didro, Intie, Nabere and Nabale prospects.  Geologic modeling and initial resource estimation for the most advanced prospects is also being planned for 2018.

* Intervals calculated with a 0.4 g/t Au cut-off and 2 metres maximum internal dilution. Sampling used lithologic contacts for the initial drill program, standard metre-metre sampling will be utilized in future. True widths are unknown. UTM's are WGS84-30N 
** Interval includes 2 metres of no recovery (34.5-36.5) where hole intersected an artisanal opening
*** During the drilling of the mineralized interval of 4 to 38 metres in drill hole GHDD-026, there were four metre-by-metre samples for which no recovery was reported: (11-12 m, 12-13m, 15-16 m and 19-20m).  As such, both the 34-metre and 14-metre intervals reported in the above Table include these four metres without sample material available for analysis.  Each of these individual samples have been given a nil value in the reported interval calculations.
**** Drill hole GHDD-004 was designed as a test of the continuity of mineralization identified by historic RC drilling and to provide a continuous drill hole through the primary mineralization hosting Granitic Intrusive and across the contact with the Mafic Volcanics.  As demonstrated in Figure 9, drill hole GHDD-004 was drilled in large part down the trend of mineralization and is an exaggerated width. However, this hole has in part, confirmed the continuity of grade down trend, extended the known depth of gold mineralization considerably deeper than previous historic drilling and has greatly improved the confidence in the geologic model of Peksou which will guide future drilling.
